1953 Map of Ogilby

About this map

Mining operations and desert infrastructure dominate this mid-century survey of southeastern California. The Cargo Muchacho Mountains serve as a focal point for historic mineral extraction, showcasing concentrated claims such as the American Girl Mine, La Colorado Mine, and the Tumco (Hedges (Site)) location. These sites, along with the Hedges Cem, provide a clear window into the late 19th and early 20th-century gold mining booms that once animated this arid landscape.
